BLOODY UYES
Shsrifrs Posse Have a Desperate Battle With
Colorow's Band.
A BLACK BYE TO The POW wow.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, August "a,
10 p. M.-The arrival of a Courier at this
hour with a report Of a fight with the Utes,
in which one white man was killed and
several seriously wounded, created a sem
sation here. When the news arrived, Gov.
Adams, who was on his way to meet Gen.
Crook near Meeker, for Che purpose OF
holding . pow-wow with Colorow and who
leaves here at daylight, was making o
speech at the Hotel Glenwood. He was
speaking on n resolution which had
Just been presented him on behalf
OF the citizens endorsing his action
in ordering ont the militia. An
officer of the post came into the room,
and whispered something into the Gov
ernor's ear. The Governors countenance
grew pale, and after a moments pause he
told the gathering what he had heard and
left for General Vests headquarters.
This news gave a black eye to the peace
pow WOW as it is believed a fight is being
urged with unrelenting fury.
Wardman reported killed is a prOmi-
nenL citizen OF Grand Butte. He was q
deputy under Kendall. II is believed the
officers opened the ball against the Utes
upon their arrival on the scene,
when they were with Leslie.
This engagement being the first
REAL BAPTISM OF BLOOD
since the beginning of the campaign. The
chances are that q more serious battle &C.
CURED to-day.
A Rocky Mountain Nelcs special from
.Rangely by courier 10 Glenwood Springs,
via hTeeker, SAYS: The fight occurred ut
a place six miles west Of Rangely, in o
little canon between the mountains. The
Indians had planned an ambush, but the
scouts discovered it and retreated in time.
The Indians then opened fire, and Major
Leslie, who commanded the scouts, which
were augmented by Major Hooper's Aspen
volunteers, returned the fire from behind
the rocks. The Indians showed themselves
and fought desperately. Upon the first
concerted fire OF the troops
TWO INDIANS ELI
and one white man. DIR. Dunmont, OF
Meeker, with Kendall's band, was
wounded. For two hours the battle ragged
necessarily, then the whites retreated to
the timber and only skirmish shots were
fred during the day. This continued until
IL o'clock last night, but no n was in
iured. Jack Ward, one of Kendalls men,
was shot down during the first of the fight.
Whites saw eight dead Indians dragged
behind the line. There were five
wounded. Their m are not known
at this time. Three of them were
members of Hooper's company. One man
was a scout and two are believed, although
not known, TO be soldiers. After the fight
the Indians retreated and the report comes
that they were going to pillage the ranches.
They were not heading for the reservation.
Men OF the National Guards and in fact
all whites are ON foot, their horses being
exhausted. A courier passed here this
morning bound for Meeker after supplies.
There is an immediate demand for them.
The men have hardly enough TO eat.

Jail Officials Treat an Insane Prisoner
Cruelty.
OTTAWA, Ont, August 27.-Rev. Joseph
White, pastor Of the Rochesterville Presby-
terrain church, publishes letter making a
serious charge against the officials of the
Ottawa Jail with respect to their treatment
of an insane lady temporarily confined
there while waiting to he transported to
the insane asylum at Toronto.
The lady is Mrs. John Edmundson, for
many years q resident Of Rochesterville,
where some of her children still reside,
and more recently of Chicago. Mrs. Ed
mnndson was confined eight days in the

trembling from head to foot. Her feet,
limbs aud hands were badly swollen.
There was no blanket in the room, and
not even a mattress for her to lie on.
The Jail officials said her clothes were
removed to prevent her from tearing them
up. When they were. brought to her,
however, she had reason enough left to
know their use, for she Immediately pro-
ceeded to put them on, and pleaded with

A New Pipe Line Company Formed by
Pittsburg Men.
PITTsBURG, Pa, August ga number
of Pittsburg's wealthiest oil operators,
refners and capitalists, allied with wealthy
New Workers, who are now laying a pipe
line from Washington to Pittshurg under
an old charter, have printed a legal notice
that they will apply for a new and more
extended charter. The name of the Or
ganization will be the Western and Allan
tic Pipe Lines, and it is claimed that it
will he a formidable opponent of the
United Pipe Line, or the Standard Oil
Company. The new charter will provide
that the incorporators may transport, store
and ship petroleum, and for that purpose
lay pipes, construct tanks, offices and
machinery, and everything necessary for
the purpose.
The company is at present rapidly
pushing to completion their line from the
Washington oil field to their refinery here.
The present capital, on the authority Of a
member Of the company, is 81, 900, 600, di-
vided among such well.known local CAPT

THE PATENT VALID.
A Decision Rendered in q Long Contested
Patent salt.

4 decision Rendered In u Long Contested
Patent Suit.
CHICAGO, August 27.-ln the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, Judge
Gresham delivered au opinion in the long
litigated HammeEsahlag waYed paper pat
ent case.
His decision sustained the validity of
the Hammerschlag patent, which was o n
tested By the defendants, who were sued
for infringement.
The claim of the defense, that the pat
ents are invalid because the process was an
old one and had been used in England,
was considered by the Court, but he did
not regard it as sufficient. The Hammer
schlag process had been shown to be diff
ferent one from those previously used, and
it had cheapened the production Of the
material as well as improved the quality.
1t, therefore, deserved TO be protected by
the courts.
In the arguments in this case, eT-Sena:
tor Roscoe Conkling was heard as counsel
for Hammerschlag q few weeks ago, and II
was, perhaps. owing to his eloquent style
of setting forth the case which Won the
victory for his client.

SOUATTERS FLOCKING TO THEM.

CHICAGO, August PA Cairo, Ill,
special says: Southwestern Missouri is In a
frenzy of excitement over the railroad land
question which lately has developed re-
markable features. Many years ago a man
named Miller, living in BlOdget, Mo, pur-
chased 4 large plat Of land from the Iron
Mountain railroad, which he occupied foI
q long time. For someT reason the railroad
people e~ndeayored to rid themselves OF
Miller, finally issuing an order of election.
Miller ut last was induced to write Presi-
dent Cleveland, explaining the cireum-
stances by which he came into possession
of the property. An answer was received,
advising Miller to retain possession at all
hazards, stating further, by reason OF the
failure of the railroad company to keep
certain contracts with the Government
they had forfeited all right and title to
them, and the entire tracts In possession OF
the railroad company were subject to reg
.istration ard occupation by bona iide set
tiers the same rs any other government

lire, and il is said settlers are rushing into
Southwestern Missouri and squatting on
the finest lands in the State. Thousands

MONTREAL,s BLAZE.
Heavy Loss by Fire-A Newspaper Burne'


MONTREAL, August 27.-The Herald
building was burned 10 the ground last
night. for the second time within i've
years.
1t was a solid stone structure, five sto-
ries in height, and situated at St anne
street and Victoria square. The fire broke
out in the hindery and spread with such
rapidity that before he iremen arrived
the bulldog was u mass oil flames.
Fortunately there was an unlimited
supply of water in this district or the nre
would inevitably have on every side Inc
whole brigade was summoned u the
building was literally flooded with water,
but this had little effect on the mass Oh
burning oil, printers ink and other milan,
mable material, and the flames reacheu
across st. James street, threatening the
buildings OH the other side. These were
only saved by being continually washed
down BY two powerful streams, but the
sharks we're carried completely over the
block and set fire 10 some buildings on st
Henry street. Prompt work, however,
saved them from destruction.
The heat by the steam was so great that
it was impossible to get near the burning
building, and the flames leaping away up
into the air, caused the greatest alarm
among the uptown residents, who Thought
the whole of the business portion oil the
city was being destroyed. The building
cost SOS, 600 and was owned by George W..
Stephens. The Herald Printing Company
loses its whole plant, valued at over so, oOo'
on which there is very little insurance.
The ground floor was occupied as stores
and offices, all Of which were destroyed.
LATER-It is thought now that three
of the compositors persisted in the fire, as
one of them had gone back for something
when the floor of the composing room fell
in, and he has not been seen since. Two
Others who were in the composing room at
the time are also missing.
